Yesterday, Fox News’ “The Five” ran a segment on the military members who are taking action against President Barack Obama and his administration for their deliberate, continuing national-security leaks that are endangering the lives of the military men and women who serve and protect the United States of America. In that segment, liberal smear artist Bob Beckel defended the Obama White House’s intentional release of highly sensitive and highly classified security information:
"The idea to suggest that the President of the United States would leak intelligence information, jeopardizing people in the field is close to treason," Beckel said. “If I were them – I assume they are out of the military now – they ought to take their benefits and go home.”
As honorably discharged and retired veterans of the Special Operations communities of all the Armed Forces and their supporters, whose mission in forming Special Operations Speaks is to illuminate the failed operational security environment of the current presidential administration, we find Bob Beckel’s commentary slanderous, insulting and appalling.

It's true. No Service Man (or government employee, or any other citizen) is obliged to obey an order not "deemed lawful."
Ditto for me.
Can’t stand either Bob or Juan .. or most of the hyper-ventilating radical dems that appear on FOX. I call them “arrogantly ignorant”.
Bob’s comment (10 years after 2000), that “Bush stole the election” did it for me.
I sent FOX an email and ranted and raved about what the truth was regarding the 2000 election .. explaining that one year after the election, several liberal media pooled their money and went down to FL to do a recount (all legally allowed under election laws). I’m sure their goal was to prove Bush had not really won the election. What happened is that the libs found out that not only had Bush won the election .. he had really won it by more than 1500 votes, not 537. And .. in 2004 he won it by more than 4 million.
Of course, the lefty media placed the story at the bottom part of the fold - buried in a weird section of the NYT. To make sure nobody saw it .. so they could continue to hit Bush as illigitimate.
Funny thing .. Bob quit saying it for awhile .. but I heard him say it again recently. Which proves to me that Bob only said it because he believes the public is too stupid to know the correct answer.
As for Juan .. FOX created a monster when they supported him after he was fired from NPR. Juan has such a big head now, he thinks whatever he says is the most important thing .. and he yells over everybody with his ignorant statements.
I would love to see Bob and Juan removed from the 5 - but I know that’s never going to happen. So .. I just don’t watch it.
What people probably don’t understand is that Bob is a political hack and he will defend the dems no matter what they do - good or bad, wrong or right. Bob is a sheep.
Here Here!!!!
I’ve been praying for that for years.
What a relief that would be not to have to listen to the “nattering nabobs” all the time.
But .. NONE OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS NEW ENDEAVOR ARE CURRENTLY IN THE MILITARY.
Obama is no longer their Commander - so they have the right to say what they think.
In the video, Bill Cowen (one of my favorites) made this comment. “My advice to this administration is, Shut the F*** Up!”
Loved it!!
You can find the video at PowerLine.
None of the military are CURRENT - all RETIRED.
It’s so simple: It’s idealogy - that’s the whole answer.
That’s the primary reason the left loves the dictators of the world .. because they’re jealous that it isn’t them.
Sadly, Obama has the same idealogy - he fancies himself as KING; which well explains the “hit list” the president keeps of those he wants to get rid of.
Once people understand it’s about idealogy .. they seem to realize it answers all the questions of why the left does what it does.
I agree .. and I’m especially unhappy with Hannity lately. Twice now he has brought on Ann Coulter and then had Peter Johnson Jr (jealous little man) and pitted them against each other. Peter is so rude to her and Hannity does nothing. The 2nd time Hannity did it - Ann told him to take a hike and she would never be on his show again. She finally relented - but only because Hannity had her on by herself.
The other incident happened just a few days ago. Dinesh was on to promote his movie “2016”. A squishy dem, Shoen, was on with him. Untrue to Shoen’s usual comments, he was simply outrageous .. ranting and raving and not allowing Dinesh to get a word in edgewise. I was so angry.
I have calmed down now, and plan to send Hannity a msg telling him how appalling that episide was. He needs to have Dinesh back on, by himself, and show us clips from the film.
Remember, if you just don’t watch - they don’t care as much as they do when you actively complain with specifics.
OK, mine was a general comment regarding my belief that King Obie and his attitude that the military belongs to him.
Yes, I knew that .. but these men no longer “belong to him” .. that was my point. People who are upset don’t seem to realize that these men are not under Obama any longer - because they’re retired.
For Beckel or anybody else to get upset about it is useless .. these guys are no longer under the power of the “king”.
Even though he is the active duty war fighter's CIC, they in no way "belong to him" as he seems to think.
The most impassioned farewell speech I heard in Iraq was from a LTC who talked about the service man's (woman's) oath to an idea. Not to a King or a country, but to freedom. I really don't think Obie gets that.
Just an Army civilian for 23 years and I get it loud and clear.
Re: never watch the Five or Hannity when Beckel is on.
Agree. He is the most vile despicable person on television
A seal vs Wimpoid Beckel.
This’ll be extremely short, but v good.
Where I can I purchase tickets?
The fat bastard most likely will keel over with a heart attack before he even got a punch off...
I support SOS 100%.
Tried to bribe repub electorate. never forgot this. never will.
Is he a North Korean citizen?

Murdoch is nothing but just another phony claiming to be fair and balanced but actually pushing the liberal agenda using FAUX News.

Murdoch and Bloomberg
At the Seaport Hotel, right here in Boston, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg discussed the relevance of immigration policy yesterday. Among the topics discussed were how immigrants affect job creation, family values, and election outcomes. Bloomberg and Murdoch both found that immigrants affect these areas very positively, and see not embracing a more ‘immigrant-friendly’ culture as a serious error for the United States, and the Republican Party.(hld)

What an idiot. The definition of treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. These SpecOps aren't close to that by questioning their former CdrInChf.
However, Obama is not just close, if he intentionally revealed national security info, which I think he did, he hit the bullseye. He is guilty as charged.
